Heaven got another angel

Tasha,

You were such a sweet, loving, talented, smart young woman. I will always cherish the memories we have had together. You were a truly beautiful person inside and out. You had a heart of gold and hugs that could cheer anyone up. So glad that I was blessed to be your friend and to have known you. Heaven truly got another angel, even if it was too soon. I know you are up in heaven in your mother's arms.

 

Love you!

 

 

Natasha Loosle

January 20, 1987 ~ December 10, 2011

Natasha Valentina Loosle, the loving daughter of that happy union of Sherri Lou Logar and James Arnold Loosle was born in Salt Lake City, January 20, 1987, 13 weeks premature and weighing in at 1 pound 15 ounces. Natasha was a ray of sunshine in her family's lives from the day she was born. She was happily greeted by her brothers and sisters, Eddie, Angie, Cindy, Steven, and Amber.

Due to immature lungs, Natasha had to be on oxygen until five weeks before starting Kindergarten, but it didn't slow her down one bit. She was never angry about her trailing oxygen tube, and wore her nose canula with a smile.

From an early age, Sherri started Tasha and Amber in dance, which they enjoyed immensely. They went on for years at the winner school excelling in jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop, gymnastics and tumbling. With a naturally beautiful, slim body, Natasha was gorgeous on stage! Her sweet personality and enthusiasm shone with every moment!

When she attended Bennion Jr. High she became co-head cheerleader. At Taylorsville High School, when they started the program of honoring a Student of the Month, Natasha was the first student honored. She was on the honor roll all through high school. While in high school she passed the course to be a dental assistant and worked at Jet-Lab.

Many of these great accomplishments came after the death of her mother Sherri, which happened when Natasha was only 13 years old. Sherri's death was a dreadful blow to the young girl, in spite of the fact that her mother had suffered from cancer most of Natasha's life. Like any child, Natasha could not see life without her mother. So when that happened, it was a blow that perhaps in reality, Natasha never recovered from. Goodness knows Jim was a wonderful father and continued keeping the girls in dance, now doing all the lessons and rehearsal running that Sherri had previously done, but a girl just misses her mom in spite of the great love she had for her dad.

Natasha studied at Salt Lake Community College and was very close to having her associate degree. She worked all the time she was in college. Natasha was always involved in dance and was also a cheerleader for the Utah Blaze indoor football team. She was enthusiastic about anything she was involved in.

Natasha moved to Florida to work for Jet Blue, but when the company suffered financial difficulties, the job fell through. She was fortunate to find and eventually live with Tracie and Brian Davis, who became her second Parents in Florida. Tasha was scheduled for a trip with them; they had already sent her the tickets, but unfortunately she died the weekend before she was to leave to meet them.

Two years ago she moved from Florida back home with her dad. She got a job with Rastar, where she became not only a good worker, but one of the most loved employees on the staff. Probably because of her warm personality and love for other people. When they learned of her death on Monday, the staff had a day of crying and mourning for Natasha. She will be lovingly remembered by her co-workers.

The thing most of us admired most about Natasha was her love for others. Relatives will all tell you that they never entered Jim's home without Natasha running up to give them a big, genuine hug. Her love for family was very evident in the overwhelming welcoming we always received. And when we left there was always a big "I love you," I love you, Dad," were the last words Natasha said as she left the house that fateful weekend.

When Tasha got older, she quit dancing lessons, but never quit dancing. Many of her friends have stated that their fondest memories of Tasha involve going to her bedroom and singing while Tasha danced. No doubt Tasha danced all the way into her mother's loving, out-stretched arms as they met in heaven.

Natasha was preceded in death by her grandparents, Sylvia Griffiths and Ruben Otto Loosle and Eva Mae and Frank Robert Logar, and her mother Sherri Lou Logar Loosle. She is survived by her father James Arnold Loosle and siblings Amber Dawn (Jason) Willoughby, Steven Brett (Jackie) Loosle, Cindy (Steve) Archer, Angie (Clark) Haycock, and Eddie Arnold Loosle. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and nephews.
